Robert Atkinson and wife Jane
« on: Tuesday 07 February 12 16:22 GMT (UK) »
Robert Atkinson born around 1823, in Wallsend, Northumberland. He married Jane, Jane was born in around 1833 in county Armah, Ireland. Do you know the surname of Jane before she married Robert, when and where did they get married and when did they die? Please. They had five children, Jeremiah, Robert, William, John and Jane. In 1871, father Robert was a coal miner at Cockfield, Teasdale, Durham.

Robert Atkinson born around 1823, in Durham

In 1871, father Robert was a coal miner at Wallsend, Northumberland.

Sorry rayaco :) but I think you've got things the wrong way round ;)

In 1871 he was a coal miner living in Cockfield, County Durham

His birthplace on the 1871 census is given as Wallsend, Northumberland.

This looks like the birth registration for Robert Atkinson and Jane ? son Jeremiah on FreeBMD
Jeremiah Atkinson Dec 1/4 1852 Newcastle upon Tyne vol 10b page 74.
This would give you his mother Jane's (born in Ireland) maiden name.

Rayaco, I think as crisane has said Jeremiah's birth certificate is the best way to go - there are quite a few possible marriages and without it it's just guesswork.

By the way, crisane, rayaco already had the birth reference you've given

That actually tells you quite a bit rayaco. You now know for certain that Robert is his father and all the census information given on your three threads is correct.
You know Jane's maiden name and from the census you know she was born in Armagh Ireland. Mind you that is going to be difficult searching but there are experts on RootsChat who will help.

I did look for a marriage for a Robert Atkinson to  a Jane Neill/Neal on FreeBMD but no result so far.  Is it possible Robert was in Ireland for a short period and they met and married there? I will look back at your three threads and remind myself just what we have for Robert in the censuses.
The marriage certificate (when/if found) should give Robert and Jane's fathers' names and occupations so you can get further back.  This may be a query to be posted on the Ireland forum. 
Be very specific in what you need help with.  You only want to find the parents of Robert and Jane. You have everything else going forward.

In light of next post your query on this will not be needed

family search.org has this marriage. Robert's last name has ch not k but it has to be them surely.

Marriage All Saints Newcastle upon Tyne Northumberland 1852 (no day or month)
Robert Atchison age 28
Jane Neal age 20
Grooms father William Atchison
Bride's father John Neal.

This has the film, batch and reference numbers so is safe to use.

GRO reference numbers on FreeBMD
Robert Atchison and Jane Neal Newcastle upon Tyne June 1/4 1852 vol 10b page 28
I looked at the original image and it definitely says Atchison.
